1 Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage - Choosing the Plan that s Right for You! %(OL.4. ftqve cfloicrs * dflid~,i,,na * S l~ataxtpqnin t LOCAL HELP FOR PEOPlE WITH MEDICARE Empowering SenIors To Prevent Healthcare Fraud Guide to Choosin a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan in Connecticut Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage, also called Part D or Medicare Rx, is available to everyone who has Medicare Part A andlor Part B. It helps pay for the cost of outpatient prescription drugs and insulin. It does not cover the cost of medications you can obtain without a physician s prescription. We encourage everyone to re-evaluate their Medicare coverage during the open enrollment period (October 15 December 7). This is the time plans frequently change their prescription coverage and it may be the only time you can change to another plan. If you enroll during this period your coverage begins January 1, THE PURPOSE OF THIS GUIDE IS TO: 1. Help you decide if you should enroll in Medicare prescription drug coverage 2. Provide an overview of the various plan options available to you 3. Provide you with basic plan information to assist in the process of selecting a plan in which to enroll. There are many factors to consider when selecting a Medicare plan. Although this guide provides detailed plan information, you may want to seek help from a CHOICES Certified counselor in your community, who can provide free and objective assistance. CHOICES is a program of the State Department on Aging and serves as Connecticut s State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), a designation by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. CHOICES is administered in partnership with the Area Agencies on Aging and the Center for Medicare Advocacy, Inc. Please call (in-state) or (if you are out of state or if you are using a cell phone) to connect with a counselor. DSS Publication 2005 ~15, REV October15, 2015
2 Medicare prescription plans are available from private, Medicare-approved, companies that sell Medicare Rx coverage either through a standalone Part D Plan (PDP) or a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plan (MAPD). PDP Provides prescription drug coverage only. 23 Medicare-approved PDPs are available in Connecticut for 2016 MAPD Is an alternative way to receive all of your Medicare benefits. These plans are privately managed healthcare plans (HMOs and PPOs) paid by Medicare to provide enrolled beneficiaries with all of their Medicare benefits - prescription drug coverage ~ hospital and medical coverage - together in one plan. As a result, individuals must have Medicare Parts A and B to enroll. When considering this option, you should not only review your prescription costs, but also your medical out of pocket costs, which often differ from traditional (original) Medicare. MAPD plans may require enrollees to use certain medical providers including physicians and hospitals that are in that plans network. 27 Medicare-approved MAPDs are available in Connecticut for 2016 MA Connecticut has 2 Medicare Advantage plans that do not provide Rx coverage in MA plans provide an alternative way of receiving one s Medicare A and B benefits. These MA-Only plans are appropriate for individuals who have as good or better prescription coverage from another source (also referred to as creditable coverage). Receiving prescriptions through the Veterans Administration would be an example of creditable coverage. SNPs (Special Needs Plans) SNPs are plans specifically designed to provide coverage for a category of beneficiaries such as chronic disease, dual eligible (Medicare and Medicaid eligible), or those in a skilled nursing facility. Only 4 SNPs are available in Connecticut for 2016: two plans are available for dually eligible beneficiaries who have Medicaid or the Qualified Medicare Beneficiary Program in the community and the other two are for individuals with Medicare/Medicaid or the Qualified Medicare Beneficiary Program who live in a nursing facility. In addition to the POPs and MA-PD5, some employer-sponsored and union-sponsored retirement health plans also offer Part 0 coverage. 055 Publication , REV October15,
3 WHY SHOULD YOU ENROLL IN A MEDICARE PRESCRIPTION DRUG PLAN? You should think about enrolling in a Medicare prescription drug plan if you don t have any prescription drug coverage, or if the coverage you have isn t creditable or as good as or better than Medicare s prescription drug coverage. For most people, enrollment is voluntary; however, if you don t enroll when you re first eligible, you could be assessed a Late Enrollment Penalty of 1% of the national base beneficiary premium ( $34.10 in 2016) for every month you were without credible coverage if and when you decide to enroll in the future. This penalty includes a higher monthly premium and a delay in coverage, since enrollment would be limited to the open enrollment period. For details on the Late Enrollment Period and how it could affect you, contact CHOICES at , or go to If your existing drug coverage is creditable, then you may not want to join a Medicare Prescription (Medicare Rx) plan. As long as you have creditable drug coverage you will not be penalized for not enrolling in a Medicare Rx plan. Contact your plan administrator to inquire if your current drug coverage is considered creditable. If cost is a concern, you may be eligible for programs that help with the cost of Medicare and Medicare prescription coverage. Effective March 1, 2015, an individual with a monthly income of $2,413.26lmonth or a couple with a combined income of $3,226.88lmonth may qualify for the Medicare Savings Program, which will help with Part B premiums, and the Part D Extra Help Low Income Subsidy, which pays Part 0 deductibles and some or all of the monthly Medicare Part D premium. It also lowers the prescription co-pays for medications on your plan s formulary: $2.95 for generic medications and $7.40 for brand drugs in 2016 and it eliminates any coverage gaps, also known as the donut hole. In addition, you will have a special enrollment period where you can make changes throughout the year. ABOUT THE PLANS Each plan has its own monthly premium, deductible, and co-pay structure for the medications it covers. Some plans offer reduced prices if you use mail order or network pharmacies. Each plan offers its own selection of drugs it will cover, called a formulary. If a medication is not on the plan s formulary it is a non-formulary drug and you will be responsible for the full cost of the medication, even if you have other medical benefits such as Medicaid. It s important to select your plan carefully; your coverage will be limited to the drugs on your chosen plan s formulary. To ensure you get the most out of your Medicare prescription plan coverage, it is important to know your medications and find the plan that will best cover your individual prescription needs! Your costs could be lowered by using a preferred pharmacy, if one if offered by the plan. DSS publication , REV October15,
4 Anyone on Extra Help, a Medicare Savings Program (QMB, SLMB, ALMB), or Medicaid, is automatically enrolled in a randomly selected prescription standard benchmark drug plan if he/she does not have prescription coverage already. that all of your medications will be covered by the randomly selected benchmark plan. There is no guarantee To avoid being responsible for the full cost of uncovered medications, CHOICES strongly recommends that you review your current prescription drug plan to ensure you are enrolled in the plan that best covers your medications needs for As a recipient of the above assistance programs, you are also entitled to a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) that allows you to change your PDP or MAPD plan throughout the calendar year. Individuals who are eligible for Extra Help, and awaiting their assignment to a prescription drug plan, can be enrolled immediately into a temporary prescription drug plan, called LINET, at their pharmacy, by showing best available evidence that they have Extra Help. The letter you received from the Department of Social Services informing you of your Medicare Savings Program coverage is best available evidence. LINET is premium free and there no formulary drug restrictions. Individuals on the LINET program will be autoenrolled into a Medicare Part D plan within two months if they have not selected one for themselves. Everyone who has Medicare Part A and/or Part B has the opportunity to change their Medicare Rx plan or join the program for the first time during the Annual Coordinated Election Period (ACEP), a period between October 15th December 7th the Open Enrollment Period. This is often referred to as Plans may have restrictions on certain medications such as Quantity Limits, Step Therapy or Prior Authorization. These restrictions may affect how your medications are covered and should be a consideration when reviewing your plan options for the following year. STEPS TO HELP YOU CHOOSE A PLAN If you are taking medications, it is in your best interest to find a plan that will provide you with the best coverage for the lowest cost. The Federal website, www Medicare gov, has an online tool called the Plan Finder that sorts the plans by the lowest annual cost and allows you to make a side by side comparison of three plans of your choosing. You will also be able to enter the name of two pharmacies, and up to 25 medications to see which plans best cover the medications you currently take. You can also use the Plan Finder tool to enroll in the plan online. Step 1. If you have existing prescription insurance, find out if it s creditable. (Your insurance company must send you this information before October 15.) Step 2. Make a list of all the prescription drugs you take. Write the name exactly as it appears on your prescription bottle. If you are taking a brand name medication, you want to be sure the screen includes the brand name drug and not the generic version (note: 055 Publication , REV October15,
5 you can discuss with your prescribing physician the possibility of taking generic medications, which may provide some cost savings to you). Be sure to include the dosage you take and the quantity you get each month. Step 3. Step 4. Step 5. If costs are a concern, find out if you qualify for Extra Help or a Medicare Savings Program. If you do, you will save money on premiums, deductibles and co-pays. If you have Medicaid (Title 19) or a Medicare Savings Program (QMB, SLMB or ALMB), you automatically qualify for Extra Help. Think about what features or benefits are most important to you in a prescription drug plan. For example: Can you take generic drugs or do you need a brand name? Do you spend part of the year outside Connecticut and need a national plan? Do you take only a few low-cost medications? If so, a less expensive plan may be adequate. Do you take many or costly medications? If so, maybe an enhanced plan would better suit your needs and be well worth the additional premium dollars. FinaIly, don t be afraid to ask questions to find the best plan for your needs. Questions like: How much is the monthly premium? Is there an annual deductible? How much is it? (Maximum of $ for 2016) Does the plan cover the drugs you take now? What Tier level are the medications you are taking for the plan you are considering? The co-pay or co-insurance you are responsible for varies depending on what Tier your plan considers your medication. one plan could place it at Tier 1 & the other at Tier 3 causing significant cost differences! Two plans could cover the same drug, but Are there prior authorization requirements for certain drugs? Is step-therapy required? (The requirement that you must try certain drugs first before you can get the medication prescribed by your doctor.) Is the plan convenient & accepted at your pharmacy? Does it offer mail order & if so - is it more expensive? What is the plan s exception process if you are denied a particular drug? If you are considering a MA-PD plan (a private Medicare plan that administers your Medicare dollars) have you reviewed your hospital and medical out of pocket expenses? Does the plan offer additional coverage benefits, such as dental or gym memberships? Are your medical providers in the plan s network? Should you consider a PPO that allows you coverage if you go out of network? Please keep in mind that you are not eligible to change plans outside of the open enrollment period (unless you are on Extra Help) even if your provider leaves the plan s network, or if your insurance carrier drops hospitals or providers through the course of the year.

6 HOWTO ENROLL INAPLAN There are a number of ways you can enroll in a plan: 1. Call CHOICES at to speak to a CHOICES counselor at the Area Agency on Aging serving your area of the state. A counselor will take you step by step through the process to help you as you make an informed decision. They can enroll you into the plan of your choice over the phone. CHOICES holds enrollment events throughout the State where you can receive assistance. Contact the toll free CHOICES line or for a list of open enrollment events in your area. 2. Go onto the Medicare Plan Finder ( gov) and enroll in the plan of your choice online. 3. Call the plan of your choice directly. Plan phone numbers are listed on the following pages for your convenience. You can also go to the plans web sites. 4. Call Medicare (1-800-MEDICARE) and tell them you ve made a decision and want to enroll in a Medicare Rx plan. If you are changing from one Medicare plan to another, you only need to enroll in the new plan and it will remove you from your current plan. For example: If you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan and want to return to Medicare, you enroll in a Medicare Part D plan and it will remove you from your Medicare Advantage plan automatically. In this case, beneficiaries should consider purchasing a private, Medicare Supplement plan (also called Medigap policies) to help with out of pocket expenses. These plans are standardized and enrollment is available at any point in the year by contacting the plan directly. CHOICES can help you understand the Medicare supplement plan options and provide a list of current premiums.
